It's another wonderful Wednesday!!! How are you doing , my sweet friends? I am over the moon; my daughter is home from active duty for a short visit. We went and picked her up from the airport yesterday. Pretty much an all day thing. Mr. Pinker and I will enjoy a few days with her before she heads back to her home.
Any whoo. Today I thought I would share my country clutter of a hutch. I meant to share my St. Patrick's Day hutch earlier, but time ran away from me.
I started off using my mismatched lace valance curtains that I am using as shelf runners. I added a string of Christmas lights along the shelves. Though the hutch is by the window, it is a dark corner; the lights certainly brighten it up. I then added my Goodwill Pfaltzgraff plates.
Of course I had to add some Dollar Tree plates to the mix .
I then pulled out my big pieces - like my Nanny's old green glass flower vases and the Pfaltzgraff tureen.
Hold on to your bloomers! We are hopping down to the bottom shelf.
The little sheep sits on a wool Shamrock mug rug which is a free design from Shabby Fabrics. The pansy needlework was a great thrift store find.
Next to it is "Got Luck?" which is a freebie from Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers .
Well that's my St. Patrick's Day hutch in a great big ole' nutshell.
Now I have one more stitch to finish and add to it- Threadwork Primitives "Lucky Shamrocks". It will join in with the mix next year.
Before you leave , I want to tell you how grateful and appreciative I am that you take the time to stop by and visit. ❤ 🤗😊And thank you for all of the sweet compliments on yesterday's stitch that I shared here and on IG.
Well you have a wonderful Wednesday . Don't forget to wear your green tomorrow. As always...
Happy Stitching ya'll
Melisa
Let your dreams be your wings!!
Hugs and Stitches and St. Patrick's Day Blessings!
Dedicated to my sweet baby sister, Amy . Every time I look at my hutch I think of her and how excited she was to find thrifty treasures. Love you, Amo. ❤❤❤
Lots of lovely St Patrick's Day decorating there Melisa.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Christine. I have really enjoyed this holiday's hutch decor, but I am certainly ready to change it over to bunnies very soon. Have a lovely day and Happy St. Patrick's Day
DeleteHi Melisa,
ReplyDeleteI am interested in stitching the darling "March Square" so I clicked on the link and discovered a whole year's worth. I was excited until I realized that the thread choices are not DMC. Do you, by chance, know of a conversion chart to DMC or where there is a color version of the stitches? Thanks so much! I love your blog!
Good morning and Happy Wednesday, Missy. There are all kinds of sweet charts on the Rainbow Gallery site aren't they? I have stitched a bunch of them and still have more I want to do. I have not found a conversion chart. I ended up choosing colors at random that I liked at the time. If I end up finding one, I will certainly post my findings. Thank you so much for the kind words and the sweet visit. Hugs
DeleteLove the hutch decor Melisa! Missy,123stitch.com has several conversion charts under free and fun. Hope this helps.
DeleteThanks so much!
DeleteYour hutch looks quite festive for St. Patrick's Day, Melisa. Enjoy your visit with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Robin. I have enjoyed every bit of this month's hutch decor. I do not have a lot of green so it was fun to pull out what I had. Have a beautiful day, Robin. Hugs.
DeleteSuch pretty treasures... thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteAaah you are always so kind, Kathy . Thank you so much for the kind words and sweet visit. It is always fun to find treasures in the house to use for new displays and even more fun to make some. Have a great day and happy quilting.
DeleteHappy St Patrick's Day to you and yours Melisa. We had a wonderful two weeks travelling around Ireland some years ago, part of our marvelous UK trip. Robin has a little Irish blood in the mix, we are told, as for me its Scots and English.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun , Jenny. I have always wanted to travel to Ireland. Maybe some day. I bet it was just beautiful and hope you took lots of photos and I am sure you have many fond memories. Thank you for the sweet visit , my friend. Have a great weekend.
